The next day, just after the dawn, Zhao Yu woke up from his sleep.

When he opened his eyes, he slowly sat up from the bed, and before he could stretch his waist, the sweet and crisp greeting of the quiet girl came from the bed: "Young master, are you awake?" ”

This cold greeting interrupted Zhao Yu's subconscious stretching and made him feel excited.

He subconsciously turned his head, but saw Jingnu sitting on a small stool next to the wooden table in the inner room

It seems that Jing Nu also realized that her abrupt greeting had frightened the little master in front of her, and at this moment she was covering her mouth with her hands and looking at Zhao Yu pitifully with a pair of bright eyes, as if she was afraid of being scolded.

To be honest, he was startled as soon as he woke up, even if he was a good-tempered person, he would inevitably be angry, but at this moment, Zhao Yu looked at Jingnu's frightened cute appearance, and he couldn't bear to accuse anything, so he responded with a smile: "Ah, wake up." Jingnu, you sit here...... What to do? ”

Seeing that the young master did not scold, Jing Nu's eyes that were still frightened suddenly bent into a crescent moon, and she explained seriously: "Wait for the young master to wake up." When the young master woke up yesterday, Jingnu was busy with her own affairs and failed to wait for the young master to get up, which was a dereliction of duty on the part of the slave, so today the slave got up early and finished everything, and then waited here for the young master to wake up...... Young master, look, today's slave has already found the sister in the North Courtyard to weave her hair in a bun. ”

Hearing these thoughtful words, Zhao Yu even though he still had some anger at the moment, he disappeared.

"Young master, let the quiet girl serve you to get up today."

“…… Oh. ”

Looking at Jing Nu's serious appearance, as if her eyes were shining, Zhao Yu really couldn't refuse, and enjoyed the taste of reaching out for a while.

Not to mention, it feels pretty good.

After getting dressed under the service of Jing Nu, and then washing with the water brought by Jing Nu, Zhao Yu took Jing Nu to the north house as usual.

Every morning, the first thing to do after freshening up is to greet his parents and pray for their well-being, which is one of the contemporary filial piety and the first thing Zhao Yu and his brother should do every day.

Since it is to greet his parents, there is a Luyang township, but during this time, the Luyang townsman is very busy, and he doesn't know when he left the township mansion every day, not to mention Zhao Yu, who is still asleep at the moment, even Zhao Yu's brother Zhao Yin, may not be able to see his father every day.

When he went to the north house with Jingnu and had breakfast with his mother Zhou, Zhou asked his son cryptically: "Yu'er, what are your plans for today?" Have you ever thought about continuing to attend classes with Mr. Ram? ”

Although it was a vague inquiry, Zhao Yu could still hear that the mother still wanted him to learn more from Mr. Ram's side after all.

"Well, I can't find anything else to do for the time being."

After thinking about it, Zhao Yu finally decided to be an obedient son for the time being.

On the 25th of July, the fourth day of Zhao Yu's arrival at this house, he came to Mr. Ram's house again.

I came to the lecture two days ago, and although I came a little late, Mr. Ram was still very surprised, and his tone of speech also improved significantly.

Having said that, although this Mr. Ram taught very carefully, to be honest, Zhao Yu was not very interested in what he taught.

In other words, at this moment, his heart has not calmed down, and he can't really bear to listen to Mr. explain those Confucian scriptures.

The reason why he forced himself to stay here was that he didn't want to do things for the time being, it was just that he didn't want to disappoint Zhou.

Of course, there is also the father who looks like a strict father with a straight face all day long, the Marquis of Luyang.

He values this stolen family affection.

However, within three days, Zhao Yu felt bored.

The lack of energy here does not refer entirely to the Confucian scholarship taught by Mr. Ram, but to the differential education that Mr. Ram treats the two brothers.

Mr. Ram's teaching to the brothers was mainly based on Confucianism, with a special emphasis on the moral education of respecting parents, respecting teachers, and being humble to brothers.

Of course, this is nothing, the key is that Mr. Ram mentions "orderly growth and youth" and "inheritance of his father's business" from time to time, intentionally or unintentionally, which makes Zhao Yu faintly have an illusion, as if Mr. Ram deliberately taught him these truths.

Zhao Yu is naturally not stupid, thinking of his mother Zhou's preference for him, and the appearance of wanting to stop talking a few days ago, he has gradually touched a few points.

To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than three words: inheritance.

Heaven and earth can be learned, Zhao Yu never thought of snatching any family property from the cheap brother like a nerd next to him, after all, he never got those in his previous life, so even if he has no right to inherit the family wealth as the second son in this life, he doesn't care, although he still doesn't know how much money he has in the Luyang Township Marquis's Mansion, but Mr. Ram uses these big truths to induce him from time to time, and Zhao Yu will inevitably feel very annoying.

Although he can understand Mr. Ram - after all, from Mr. Ram's point of view, he accepted the restraint and reward from the Luyang Township Marquis, and was responsible for teaching the two sons of the owner, so he should shoulder the responsibility of teaching the two sons of morality, so as not to cause brothers to fall into trouble in the future, but understanding is understanding, Mr. Ram's differential treatment still makes Zhao Yu feel uncomfortable.

Therefore, on the day of July 28, when Zhao Yu and Jingnu returned to the east courtyard from the north house, Zhao Yu went straight back to his room, lying on the edge of the bed with his hands on his pillows, and never mentioned going to Mr. Ram's house.

Seeing this, Jing Nu was puzzled and asked, "Won't the young master go to Mr. Ram's house today?" ”

"I'm not going." Zhao Yu replied casually.

As soon as she heard this, Jing Nu was a little anxious for some reason, and even stammered a little when she spoke: "Why, why, young master?" ”

"It's boring."

Zhao Yu replied with his eyes closed.

Obviously, Jing Nu didn't understand the true meaning of Zhao Yu's sentence "boring", and hurriedly persuaded her: "Young master, thanks to you, Jing Nu can also follow the two brothers to listen to Mr. Ram's teaching these days, the slave thinks that Mr. Ram is a very great person, if the young master can listen well, he will definitely be able to learn a lot of great skills." Besides, in the past few days, I learned that the young master was listening to the lecture at Mr. Ram's side with peace of mind, and the townsman and his wife were also quite pleased......"

In the end, the more she talked, the more panicked she became.

Maybe she felt that if the young master in front of her "learned badly" again, she had an unshirkable responsibility, which made her tears almost flow out.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu had no choice but to be relieved: "Jingnu, I just want to rest." …… You know that I'm a stranger to everything in my home these days, and I want to know about it, so why don't you take me for a walk around the house and outside the house...... As for Mr. Ram's lesson, let's go back in a few days. ”

"Really, really?"

Knowing that Zhao Yu just wanted to take a two-day break to get to know the family, and would return to Mr. Ram's class in a few days, Jingnu's heart relaxed slightly.

"Of course."

Zhao Yu pretended to swear.

However, in his heart, this "few days" may be when.

After all, in his opinion, knowing that Mr. Ram values his cheap brother Zhao Yin more, and his Zhao Yu's teaching is particularly targeted, he thinks that there is really no need to force it up.

Rather than asking him to forcibly reverse his interest and cater to Mr. Ram, Zhao Yu felt that it was better to do something that interested him, or do something for this family.

Of course, first of all, he is only a child of about ten years old, and some things are not good to do too much, so as not to make any rumors in the house.

In fact, Zhao Yu was not worried, what he was worried about was whether these rumors would affect the views and attitudes of the Luyang Township Marquis and his wife towards him, nothing more.

On the same day, Zhao Yu was led by Jingnu to go shopping in the Luyang Township Marquis's Mansion.

Luyang Township Mansion, the courtyard of this mansion can be roughly divided into four parts: front, back, west and east.

According to Jingnu, the front yard is basically inhabited by the servants of the house, the guards and their families, and these people basically only obey the orders of the Luyang Township Marquis and his wife; The east courtyard is the residence of the brothers, and the servants and guards who live here basically take care of the brothers.

The backyard, that is, the North House, is the residence of the Marquis of Luyang and his wife Zhou, including some maids who serve the couple; The last remaining West Courtyard is basically vacant and is only used for overnight stays.

And between the front yard and the backyard, there is a rather particular palace, here is the top priority of the house, the ancestral tablet of the Luyang Zhao family is enshrined on the east side, the treasury of the house is set on the west side, and the Luyang townsman used to feast guests, it is in the main hall of the palace, all in all, here is the forbidden area for idlers to enter, and there are many guards of the house patrolling here every day.

At first glance, it seems that this Luyang Township Marquis Mansion is quite rich, no worse than some families in Zhao Yu's impression.

It is indeed worthy of praise, in the end, it is the Xianghou Mansion!

While strolling around, it is inevitable to encounter the servants and guards in the house, and some of them will inevitably point their fingers behind their backs and whisper when they see Zhao Yu.

It seems that the goddess a few days ago failed to completely stop the private discussion of Zhao Yu in the mansion.

For these, Jing Nu felt very angry, and her face puffed out angrily, if it wasn't for Zhao Yu to stop her, maybe she would really rush over to reason with those people.

However, Zhao Yu didn't care about this, after all, although those people were servants or guards in the house, they had never negotiated with him, so of course he wouldn't care about the other party's opinion.

There are only a few people he really cares about.

It is worth mentioning that after walking around, Jingnu also asked Zhao Yu about gains and losses, and asked Zhao Yu if he had anything to think of.

This cute little girl is destined to be disappointed.

Near dusk, Zhao Yu and Jingnu came to the north house to prepare a family meal.

Before eating, Zhou secretly summoned his young son Zhao Yu to him and asked gently: "Yu'er, I heard that you didn't go to Mr. Ram's house to study today, why?" ”

Zhao Yu was not a person who gossiped behind his back, and pretended to be embarrassed when he heard the words: "Mother, the child thought that he could calm down and ask Mr. Ram for advice, but he never thought that the child still overestimated himself......"

These words, coupled with Zhao Yu's head-scratching behavior, made Zhou couldn't help laughing, she doted on Zhao Yu's forehead with her fingers, and said with a smile: "You kid, it's only been a few days, and the old character has made ...... again."

Zhao Yu said embarrassedly: "Mother, it's not a child who said that Mr. Ram's side is really stuffy......"

"You kid."

Zhou shook his head with a wry smile, and then asked, "Then what do you want to do?" ”

Zhao Yu thought for a while and said, "Well, mother, the child wants to learn to ride a horse, and then ride a horse to go shopping outside the house...... I heard Jingnu say that our family is more than 20 miles southwest of the county seat, and the child also wants to go to the county seat to see it. ”

"This ......"

To Zhao Yu's surprise, Zhou frowned slightly after hearing this.

"Mother, what's wrong?"

I saw that Zhou thought about it for a while, frowned slightly and said to Zhao Yu: "My son wants to learn riding, so my mother naturally allows it, but it is ...... outside the house Recently, there has been instability. ”

"Unstable?"

"Hmm." Zhou nodded and said, "In the past two months, many displaced people who have fled from other places have come to my Luyang County, and some of them ...... Alas, the county magistrate of Luyang County, as well as your father, are having a headache about this matter. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yu was suddenly stunned.

At this time, he remembered that Jingnu had mentioned that Luyang County and its surroundings had experienced drought in recent years......
